Ordinary food storage containers are difficult to organize and can leave cabinets messy and overcrowded, causing consumers to become frustrated when searching for the right lid to match each container. With the patented Easy Find Lids design, lids attach to each other and to the bottom of containers for storage, so the right lid is always at hand. Graduated sizes neatly nest within each other to save space, making Rubbermaid Glass more convenient to keep organized than ordinary glass containers.

"Consumers are preparing more meals at home and are seeking food storage solutions that make it easier to cook, serve, store and reheat foods all in the same container," said Amanda Sloan, brand manager for Rubbermaid. "Consumers desire home organization products that help simplify their lives. We've answered that call with Rubbermaid Glass with Easy Find Lids--a smart solution for keeping containers organized, while providing all the flexibility that glass offers."
